Robert heads to LeasePlan to find out everything you need to know if you want to lease an electric car and why employers might want to go electric for future company cars.

Whilst the cost of electric cars are definitely coming down, for many people, leasing is the most affordable way to go electric.

In this episode Robert speaks to Matthew Walters from LeasePlan to find out why employers and employees might benefit if company cars were to become electric. If you’re baffled by phrases like ‘benefit in kind’ and confused by the taxation costs of EVs, then hopefully we might be able to help answer some of your questions.

With more leasing options available and competitive rates for both businesses and individuals, now could be the perfect time to make the switch to electric.
